Chapter 14 Plan A - Explanation

"Is this the end?"

Charlize stood in the middle of the bedroom in a daze, unable to recover for a while. If it wasn't for the miserable scene like a tornado in the room reminding her all the time, she would really wonder if everything just now was a dream, and whether she herself had taken too many drugs.

"What else do you expect? Like in "Four Hundred Years of Vampires", there will be an exorcism battle first, and then there will be a relationship between humans and ghosts?"

Charlotte looked at Charlize angrily, still holding the photo and the contract in his hand.

——At the moment before, as Charlotte called Alexis' full name, a whirlwind full of destructive power suddenly blew up in the room, just like the tornado that swept across the southern United States suddenly came to Charlize's bedroom, There was also a burst of faint, yet palpitating screams in the wind. Accompanied by the strong wind and screams, the interior furnishings were destroyed one after another, but the two posters arranged by Abham, Stallone's Rambo and Schwarzenegger's T-800, were lit up. Although the light was not strong, it was full of penetrating power. Gradually, the gust of wind and screams disappeared, and the next moment, Charlize's consciousness returned to her body again.

"Now, Alexis has fallen into a deep sleep again, and I have sealed it into this photo."

As he said that, Charlotte handed the photo taken with the iGood camera to Charlize, and Charlize subconsciously took it and glanced at it, but suddenly realized——

"It's not me!!"

The blond girl in the photo is very beautiful, slim and tall, with a slightly confused expression, which adds a bit of ethereal air to her. However, this beautiful girl is not Charlize.

"Of course not you! This is Alexis!"

Charlotte seemed to have anticipated Charlize's reaction, saying without even looking at the photo,

"This camera and the photo paper inside have been specially treated by me to be able to take pictures of ghosts. However, because my current strength is not enough, to make the images captured appear, I must get the ghost's own approval—"

"So you asked Alexis to sign the photo, with the intention of getting her to admit that it was a photo of yourself?"

Although she couldn't control her body at that time, Charlize's consciousness was still clear. She saw everything that happened through her own eyes.

"But I remember back then, the photos I saw were clearly my own appearance?"

"That's why I said that the ghost's own approval must be obtained for the image to appear!"

Charlotte waved her hand, as if trying to strengthen her tone,

"When this photo was first taken, it was indeed your own appearance. I originally hoped to take a photo of Alexis directly, but due to lack of power, even with special processing, I still couldn't force her appearance on the photo manifest."

"So at that time, when you frowned, you were not lamenting the future of Polaroid, but because you didn't get the expected photo of Alexis?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"The exclamation of the Polaroid is just my cover, and it's also a way for Alexis to relax, trust me, and step into the trap."

"...For a liar, your acting skills are really superb!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Facing Charlize's mocking exclamation, Charlotte thick-skinned and accepted everything - how could she be a "master" without such a bit of shame?

"Alexis signed her name on the photo, which is equivalent to her admitting that this is her photo. At this time, my special processing of the photo will really take effect. Therefore, the photo you see now is no longer You Charlize, it's Alexis!"

"This... I'm a little dizzy."

Clutching her forehead, Charlize felt that her brain couldn't keep up.

However, she still found a problem:

"Wait, according to what you said, I, no, it was Alexis when I saw the photo. It should be my appearance, not Alexis's own? Why didn't she What did you find?"

"Because for a person, his own appearance may be the strangest! The most familiar stranger, is this the truth?"

Charlotte took the photo and shook it,

"Although you can still recognize yourself when you see a photo of yourself, I believe that the speed of recognition is definitely slower than recognizing your friends. This is because a person has never had the opportunity to see himself with his own eyes. The appearance. Although you can look in the mirror, the appearance in the mirror is often subtly different from the appearance in the photo. Therefore, people often have a strange feeling of familiarity and strangeness about their own appearance.

This is true for a normal person, let alone a ghost like Alexis whose consciousness is discontinuous, whose memory is unclear, and who may not even recognize the fact that he is dead? At that time, as long as she didn't particularly doubt me, when she saw the photos I took with the iGood camera, she would subconsciously believe that they were her own appearance, and this belief would soon make her Looks really come out in photos. "

Having said that, Charlotte paused,

"What's more, you were subconsciously interfering with Alexis's consciousness at that time. If you saw through your eyes that the photo I took of your body was not yours, you would be surprised instead, and you would not be able to effectively interfere with Alexis. Lixis! Just like when you saw the contract, the suspicion brought by the instinct of an actress destroyed your process of inducing Alexis, making her also suspicious, almost making me reveal my secrets .am I right?"

"This is indeed my fault."

The blond girl readily admitted her mistake. The moment she saw the contract, her instincts raised doubts, and Charlize knew it was broken! According to Charlotte's plan, at that time, she should try her best to interfere with Alexis so that she could sign the contract without suspicion, and then let Charlotte take pictures, but due to the conditioned reflex formed by many losses before, she herself Feelings of doubt arose. This emotion will also affect Alexis, but the result is likely to lead her to finally wake up and see through Charlotte's trap. Charlize was really worried at that moment, but thanks to the "master" performance behind Charlotte...

"I'm not blaming you. It's difficult for someone like you who has never been trained to cooperate with me in hunting ghosts. It's already very good that you can do this!"

Charlotte waved her hand generously,

"Actually, the moment Alexis looked at the photo, I was ready to start Plan B. But fortunately, your subconscious recognition of your own photos also affected Eric to a certain extent. Sith, made her finally agree that this is her photo, and signed her name."

"Plan B? What's that?"

After the threat of being possessed by the ghost is eliminated, Charlize's curious baby's true nature is revealed. No, just after she figured out the mystery of the photo, she became curious about what Charlotte called "Plan B".

"Plan B is my backup plan just in case. It's used to deal with the situation where Alexis sees through the trap. To be honest, that plan is more risky than the trap plan. It's great that it doesn't work!"

Seeing that pair of beautiful green eyes still shining with curiosity, Charlotte simply took out a yellow note from her pocket,

"Here, this is my plan B!"

It was a rectangular piece of yellow paper. Charlize touched it with her hand, but the paper was not smooth, with a feeling of numbness, and it was written with words that Charlize didn't know.

"This is the same as the names of Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong when the door god was invited. They are written in Yin runes, which means 'big ghost'!"

"Big ghost?"

"The big ghost is a ghost in Chinese legend who is very good at exorcising demons and catching ghosts. Yin runes are a long-lost text. This kind of writing has magical powers and can be used to communicate with ghosts and gods. I will use the 'big ghost' two Write the characters on the yellow money paper with yin runes to form a talisman. When necessary, borrow the power of the 'big ghost'. If the plan A of borrowing the trap is a trick, then this plan B is to force it. Now, if you are not sure, it is more dangerous to force it, not to mention borrowing the power of the 'big ghost', you will have to pay a huge price, so it is better not to use it."

"So it is!"

Touching this strange talisman with her hand, a thought arose in Charlize's heart - this time Alexis's ghost was driven away by Charlotte, but would there be a second time in the future? At that time, if Charlotte is not there, what should I do? Do you want……

"This talisman is for you!"

Seemingly seeing what Charlize was thinking, Charlotte seemed very generous,

"Anyway, it's not difficult to make this thing. But you have to pay attention, you don't know spells, and this talisman, before being activated by a spell, can't exert much power. It can only play a simple blocking role. If If you encounter some powerful evil things that want to hurt you, it doesn’t really have any use.”

"Oh, I see!"

Although a little disappointed, Charlize still carefully put away the talisman that said "big ghost". It's better to have something than nothing!

"Okay, now regardless of plan B, let's go back to plan A! Sally, what about the ant nest I asked you to prepare earlier?"

"Ant nest?"

Charlize was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after confirming that the ghost attached to her was Alexis, the two split up and made some preparations. Charlotte prepared, of course, the props used just now. But what he ordered Charlize to prepare was an ant nest.
